To my dear friends at AMACOM Books who have guided me every step of the way through
each of my six books, especially executive editor Christina Parisi and president Hank
Kennedy—thank you both for your ongoing support and encouragement. To associate
editor and copy manager Erika Spelman, as well as copyeditor Mary Miller, both of whom
I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of working with on a number of prior projects—please
know again how much I appreciate all your creativity, attention to detail, and the dedicated
commitment you’ve shown to this second edition of the book. And of course to Adrienne
Hickey, my literary mentor and coach, who brought the first edition of 101 Sample Write-Ups to life and made it such a success.

And to the finest legal team and legal minds in the field of employment law who helped
review select portions of this manuscript as it made its way through the various stages of development: Ann Kotlarski, senior litigation partner in the Los Angeles office of Seyfarth
Shaw LLP and fellow UCLA Extension instructor; Jathan Janove, partner in the Portland
office of Ater Wynne LLP and fellow author and contributor to HR Magazine; Jacqueline
Cookerly Aguilara, partner, and Yoni Cohen, associate, in the Los Angeles office of Bingham
McCutchen LLP; and Sharon Bauman, partner and co-chair of the employment practice
group in the San Francisco office of Manatt Phelps and Phillips, LLP—I consider myself so
fortunate to have partnered with you all in this second edition and benefited tremendously
from your guidance.
